For those who may be new here, my hubby's a custom woodworker so I have access to a very generous scrap pile!

We created our snowman from a three foot piece of a 4x4 and

a scrap of ¾" board.

The 4x4 was cut to varying lengths:

hat = 5 inches

head = 3½ inches

body = 6½, 9, 11½ inches

The hat rim is a 5½ x 5½ x ¾ inch.

The wood was painted and heavily distressed. The scarf is an old flannel bed sheet, the eyes were hand-drawn and painted with some shiny fabric paint we had on hand. The hat was decorated with ribbon and pieces of silk flowers. His arms were cut from my lilac bush. And his nose was cut from a paint stick.

These would also make a nice teacher gift or maybe a sweet gift for your school bus driver.

I re-purposed a Wilton box into a gift box for one special cupcake!

The insert was removed and wrapped with Stampin' Up design paper then slid back inside the plastic case. I ran a Nesties label die through my Cuttlebug then cut a white cardstock scrap to fit. The stamp "Happy Holly Days" is from Joy's Life: Wintery Puns stamp set.

fit my 12 x 12 mat, then cut and used it as a stencil. I measured the area of the stencil I wanted to use and found a piece of scrap wood from hubby's shop and sanded the edges. I 'pounced' some acrylic paint on it with a contrasting color and that was it.
